Condition: The School District’s controls did not prevent or detect and correct, in a timely manner, an employee’s time being charged to the Special Education Cluster that did not have adequate documentation.

FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. The School Corporation was required to submit annual data reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the audit period the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports and two ESSER III reports, for a total of six reports. The annual data reports were complied, prepared and submitted by the Assistant Superintendent without an oversight or review process in place to prevent, or detect and correct, errors. Furthermore, the reported data on two of the reports could not be traced back to records that accumulate or summarize the data; therefore, the accuracy and completeness of the reports could not be verified. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jim Diagostino, Superintendent, and Lori Bennett, Treasurer Contact Phone Number: 317-539-9200 Views of Responsible Officials: We agree with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Superintendent, or designee, will prepare the annual data reports to be reported to the IDOE by using records that accumulate or summarize the data. Prior to the submission of the reports, the Treasurer will review the records and annual data report. The Treasurer will initial and date a hard copy of the report to ensure accuracy and completeness. Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2024

Finding #2023-002 - Material Adjustments (Prior Year Finding #2022-002)Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed numerous adjusting journal entries to adjust District account balances. We deem these entries to be significant in relation to the financial statements. Since the District did not make these adjustments in the accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in the District's internal controls. Effect: This means that the proper recording and reporting of financial information may not occur within a timely manner. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to correct various transactions. Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the District before the audit are considered an internal control weakness. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded in a timely manner. Response: The District will work to establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor.

The administration of Texas Association for the Education of Young Children acknowledges receipt of the following audit findings for the fiscal year 2023. While in agreement with the findings, management provides the following response: Commencing in July 2023, an executive team was assembled, comprising the appointment of a Chief Financial Officer and a Director of Operations. Before this, the Executive Director managed all operations and finances, assisted by a Finance Manager and Administrative Assistant. The inclusion of over 25 years of professional leadership and Master level education of the CFO and DOO was crucial to accommodate the growth experienced by TXAEYC in preceding months and anticipated in FY23. Additionally, it led to an additional level of check and balances on operational and financial responsibilities. Upon the arrival of CFO Casey Cole, effective August 1, 2022, TXAEYC updated its accounting policies and procedures to align with GAAP and general best practices. This update guaranteed the provision of timely reports and documentation for all financial transactions, encompassing accounts payable, vendor profiles, contracts, and procurement, overseen by the DOO. The CFO collaborates with an external accounting firm tasked with managing data entry and monthly reconciliations, offering support and guidance as necessary. The involvement of the accounting firm enhances the review process and provides additional expertise to ensure the accuracy of financial records. Finding 2023-001: Internal Control Over Compliance: Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Management Response: The finding for not obtaining an open request for proposal was dated to fiscal year 2022 – not 2023. The request for proposal process was not followed as it was not posted to the public as policy states. Multiple vendors were sought out for quotes/RFI (request for information) due to the limited availability of qualified contractors. 1. Board Training: o Since fiscal year 2022, comprehensive board trainings have been conducted at the onset of each fiscal year. These sessions encompass a review of policies and procedures that TXAEYC must abide that include but are not limited to those that fall under the purview of the board and its committees. Both new and existing board members participate in these training to ensure alignment with organizational policies and best practices. 2. Updated Accounting Manual: o In fiscal year 2023, an updated Accounting Manual was developed. This revised manual contains clearer policies and delineates the responsibilities of staff and board members including procurement processes and adherence to established policies. o The manual was revised by the CFO, reviewed by the Finance Committee multiple times, and underwent executive staff leadership review. After extensive review, it was then sent to the board for final review and vote for unanimous approval, then implemented. 3. Enhanced Oversight with the Hiring of the CFO and DOO: o The recruitment of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and a Director of Operations (DOO) has strengthened oversight over procurement practices. The CFO and DOO are tasked with reviewing contracts and spearheading procurement activities, ensuring strict adherence to organizational policies and regulations. 4. Re-establishment of Finance Committee: o Recognizing the absence of a Finance Committee in fiscal year 2022, steps have been taken to re- establish this vital oversight body. The Finance Committee will play a pivotal role in monitoring procurement activities, reviewing financial processes, and providing guidance to ensure compliance with organizational policies and regulatory requirements. Additionally, further corrective measures will be implemented, including: • Conducting regular audits of procurement processes to identify and address any deviations from established policies. • Implementing a centralized procurement system to streamline and standardize procurement practices across the organization. • Providing ongoing training and guidance to staff involved in procurement to enhance their understanding of policies and procedures. • Establishing clear protocols for vendor selection and evaluation to ensure transparency and fairness in the procurement process. Parties Responsible: Oversight of Procurement: Director of Operations Board Training: Executive Director Maintaining a Finance Committee: Board of Directors Oversight of financial policies and procedures being followed: Chief Financial Officer Date of expected completion of corrective actions: The items outlined in the management response have already been put in place as of Fiscal Year 2023 and will continue to be fulfilled and monitored by responsible parties.

To Whom it May Concern: The purpose of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is to define corrective actions for resolving any non-conformances identified during the single audit for Fiscal Year 2023. Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2023-001 - Material Weakness in Internal Control - Reporting Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Agency: Not Applicable Award Number/Year: Not Applicable / 2023 Criteria: Non-federal entities in receipt of federal funds must comply with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.303(a), which require an entity to establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award to ensure compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Recipients of Provider Relief Funds (PRF) payments must also comply with the reporting requirements described in the PRF terms and conditions and specified in directions issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Condition/Context: The Company did not complete the PRF reporting in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidance. For the one report filed during the award year it was noted to include incorrect lost revenue totals, due to clerical errors and the exclusion of certain affiliates. In addition, the reports tested did not contain a documented review and approval of the reports prior to submission. Effect: The amounts reported to Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) were not in accordance with established U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reporting guidance. Total cumulative lost revenue should be $13,893,503. Questioned Costs: None reported. Cause: Lack of management oversight. Recommendation: We recommend that management review and update, as needed, their procedure for completion of the reporting to ensure that a review and approval of such reporting is completed and documented prior to submission. Additionally, we recommend that management revise their lost revenue totals in any future submissions. Views of Responsible Officials: Management will revise policies and update cumulative lost revenue for any future HRSA PRF Reporting Portal submissions and retain documented proof that the reports were reviewed prior to filing. In addition, revised lost revenues of $13,893,503 exceed cumulative PRF payments applied to lost revenues of $1,626,560.

Condition: The University has discrepancies between the date utilized in the return to Title IV calculations and the date required to be utilized based on federal regulations. There were three errors that attributed to this finding: 1) Of the 60 students tested, there were 2 students with discrepancies between the date utilized in return to Title IV calculations and the date required to be utilized based on federal regulations. 2) Of the 60 students tested, there was 1 identified for whom no return to Title IV calculation was performed, and, therefore, there was no return of funds until the student was selected for testing for the audit. 3) Of the 60 students tested, there was 1 identified for whom the incorrect amount of aid was returned.
